"The color and vibrancy of Maura’s voice is mesmerizing. This is a woman whose voice demands that you listen."- Miss Crankypance, Dating A Personality (Disorder) October 15, 2011

"Parade of Echoes is a shimmering blend of classic-sounding pop and folk, with gorgeous harmonies. And Maura's songs are catchy, to be sure, but also brimming with intelligence and vivid imagery. " - Nick Cristiano, Philadelphia Inquirer (Feb 26, 2010)

"On her first "solo" venture, Ms. Kennedy unleashes her better pop angels and her most tormenting demons on "Parade of Echoes," a near-Spectorian symphony of ebullient/anguished ruminations on any True Lover's worst fears, denials and fervent hopes."- Jim Musser, Iowa City Press Citizen 12/31/09
